Well this series did not start out great for me. I felt that Someone to Watch Over Me was pretty good, but not up to what I expect from Kleypas, and that Lady Sophia's Lover was below average. BUT this book totally redeemed the series for me! ~swoon~ Nick ~swoon~ what can I say, he is my new, top Kleypas man. ~sigh~ Lottie was just O.K. ( Nick could have done better.. hah hah ) I did not realize that this series was written before The Wallflowers and Hathaways. I was taken aback when the H/h were at Marcus, Lord Westcliff's estate and he was single. Not only THAT but he offered marriage to our heroine, Lottie! Now I want to re-read both Wallflowers and Hathaways to see if Nick, Viscount John Sydney made any appearances in them.
